This picture indicates that the position is neutral to bearish, since it makes
|
||||
money even if the indices are unchanged. However, contrast this with the situation
|
||||
in which the ZYX falls to a level 5 points below the ABX by expiration.

In this case, the spread has no potential for profit at all, even if the market col
|
||||
lapses. Thus, even a bearish spread like this might not prove profitable if there is an
|
||||
adverse movement in the relationship of the indices.
|
||||
Finally, observe what happens if the ZYX rallies so strongly that it catches up to
|
||||
the ABX.

These tables can be called "sliding scale" tables, because what one is actually
|
||||
doing is showing a different set of results by sliding the ABX scale over slightly each
|
||||
time while keeping the ZYX scale fixed. Note that in the above two tables, the ZYX
|
||||
results are unchanged, but the ABX has been slid over slightly to show a different
|
||||
result. Tables like this are necessary for the strategist who is doing spreads in options
|
||||
with different underlying indices or is trading inter-index spreads.
